  % We have to repeat the columncolor setting after colorspace  and the spotcolor was loaded
  % in the book version. We therefore need this slightly odd repeat here:

  \AtBeginDocument{\columncolor{blue}[1]}

\usepackage{xcolor,paracol}   \columncolor{blue}[1]
\setlength\columnseprule{2pt} \colseprulecolor{red}
